prickly green underfoot wading through picnics of disaster golden prophecies of thought when seeing her wavy amber hair she pulled pins of pineapples off my vest handing me sweet yellow, like I'm yellow her slice of pineapple through my chest over sheets of red plaid she commands the penetrating fray cute misty fragmentation fodder run little soldier run from her gun I'll get shot sooner or later head over heels and diving for ditches I victim to her hot flame-throwing intuition as she hands me her knuckle sandwich with a look that makes me roast on rye I manage to muster my courage to cluster but she always brings along reinforcements grabbing my gassy canister of choking mustards she turrets her turnips to her lips and bites the stubborn day, retaining its retreat a army of yellow jackets' out to win her sting is worse than her bite, I thought but her wartime kiss was surrendered bliss left dead back on the fields of battle when she ran triumphant into her victory dance whipped cream and red delights pulled then and still left I am today, with her strawberry burns |
